Such was Boogie's guess (he says) after somebody in a grim reaper Halloween costume appeared atop the stairs - hidden from us, of course - it'd be hard to come up with a phrase that has less to do with Big Brother, but that's Big Brother for you

I'm pretty much done with BB7.. please don't write in - I can't keep up with the mail as it is, and while I appreciate the supportive emails, I can't keep up with the volume and it's become a factor in all this

Today they sat around and sat around, bitched about whoever wasn't present, whined about everyone & everything, and sat around some more.. that's always part of Big Brother but nobody signed up for a steady diet of it and nothing else.. All-Stars was a bad idea from the start and it's proven more so every day

Tonight they're in the hot tub playing spin the bottle - Willboogie, Danielle, Janelle, Erika & Howie - half of these people are in their 30s.. and CBS is giving them Prom Night

The giant needle & thread have them alternately stumped and certain they know the answer.. I haven't heard any of them guess EWE AND EYE 2 THE END yet

Danielle wins the veto (surprise, surprise).. BB2 Hardy, BB4 Jack, BB5 Scott & BB6 April showed up to help.. Scott called out "eat a dick" so he's playing along at home.. Will called out "hey Busto!" to April - whatever you think of her, she proves herself to be a good sport just by showing up .. Erika says later she was asking Jack to help her through "take your time" hints, and Erika & Danielle are annoyed that James threw it

Willboogie are overjoyed - watch the video - they say they tried but will pretend they threw it.. Will works on Janelle for a long time afterward - watch the video.. they take it downstairs.. when she leaves the bathroom he looks to us and says "wrap city" with a slash-across-the-throat gesture.. he seems pretty sure she's fallen for him

Howie's getting edged out of Janelle's confidence a bit thanks to Will (who else?).. he tells Erika some stuff about James and calls it "the ultimate betrayal".. Will works on James awhile too - watch the video

The barbecue shows up for a third season - won in yesterday's food comp, I believe - Howie checks it out and they tell how it blew up on Ivette last year.. George fixes steaks & ribs for everyone even though he's on slop - half of them bitch about it inside, saying they don't need or want all that meat but nobody bothers to tell him.. later James fixes some more

Will says he's got a sore knee today which is bandaged, and a sore scrotum which isn't.. Erika speaks into her mic to get a message to BB - you'd think she'd have caught on how it works by now.. Danielle works herself up into another frenzy

Booze helps: she rants to Erika & Marcellas, and makes a big gesture to the HATE sign and her boobies, indicating her feelings for Janelle but she won't say it out loud.. they rag on internet fans for awhile and Danielle gives us her email - watch the video

Booze helps some more.. uhh here's George.. Willboogie hatch a new plan to go to Final Four with Danielle & Janelle, keeping them at each other's throats along the way and using their minions to kick themselves out - watch the video

Showering with friends

Danielle does her act for the hot tub crowd.. she's more than a little sippy, loud & condescending, but doesn't live up to any of her earlier threats

Erika & Janelle work on Will for awhile, trying to get him to take his shorts off, then to take a shower with them

Will keeps saying no no no, then he says yes and runs to fetch Boogie from sleep

James & Howie are having a discussion about something in HOH while George listens to 50 Cent (go figure).. they're kicked out when the shower crowd comes through.. Howie seems a little hurt that he isn't invited, at least to watch
Erika fluffs her hair and swigs some mouthwash before going up.. once they're in, Will keeps popping the door open, pretending to try to escape and asking us for help, and Janelle keeps pulling him back.. in spite of how it looks, they all keep bathing suits on
It's all kind of funny but kind of disturbing too, knowing that each one thinks he or she is playing the others.. afterward Will dons the HOH bathrobe in a not-too-subtle show of what's really going on

Much later (4am) Howie & Janelle get fired up about James, again.. they rage about him off & on for a half hour or more, but stop short of waking him up to tell him - watch the video.. tomorrow they'll probably be back to business as usual, with James on their side and in their confidence, but we can always hope for a calling-out, preferably in public

I'm over it and all of them.. it's likely going to get ugly here before long.

TURN THE VOLUME DOWN ON THE FLAMES MUSICA Halloween special in August? Broken buzzers? Prom night??

Seems he's making out with Erika to make 'good tv' when he votes her out. I say they're made for each other.

NOMINATEDHOLDS VETOI got nothing.

NOMINATEDSee Boogie.

He made dinner for them all even though half of them didn't want it, and of those who did nobody even said thank you.

Will's working a wedge between Howie & Janelle and it's working. You never saw a longer face than when they kicked him out of HOH so they could all shower together.

Bla bla blah - he sounds more like the Charlie Brown's teacher every day.

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLDHard to tell if she's playing Will as much as he's playing her, but hanging on him for an hour in the hot tub and nearly as long in the shower is the kind of stuff that gives them the ammo to say what they say about her. It doesn't much matter though - after Kaysar's 'Early Show' fiasco it's pretty clear that CBS is not one of her biggest fans and will use anything & everything they've got against her.

All I heard him talk much about today was his 'fan base' and discussing past seasons once again.. do they have anything else to talk about?

His act is wearing thin but apparently none of them saw BB2 nor heard about his act which is pretty funny. Feedsters are falling into the same trap: anyone falling for his spiel that Erin will break up with him for flirting with Janelle forget that she won $2 million by flirting on tv. If anyone gets it, she does.

He said his heart wasn't in it this year and that he was saving his big moves for later: both fatal in the BB house, and not kicking out Will when he could was pivotal to the season. But he shaved his head for the game and stopped twisting his hair too. Good to see him again and overnighters especially will miss him.

Sadly, she didn't stand a chance this year. She came in defeated & involved in a feud, and lost all her partners. Mrs. Smith didn't give us the fireworks she's capable of but she's always an all-star in my book and I wish her well.

His alliances and behavior were all over the map this time and both got him kicked out. He went out the back door again but it wasn't intentional this time. So long, mirror-face.

Not the most charismatic and she didn't start playing in time, but each side kicked her out so the other couldn't have her. Kudos to her for having the guts to return.

She worked out and hid in a vase but the potential for catfights & dramatics left with her. She didn't live up to her skanky rep: good for her, bad for us.

This site isn't necessarily about who should win, who will win, who I'd be friends with, or who is cute. It's about watching hamsters: which ones are doing what and why, which are fun and which are dull. If they aren't entertaining, get rid of 'em! Thanks for encouraging my behavior.. that dingo
